26.8 suggests it may be tange 2 tubing. Which is odd considering kenevans is an australian based builder, and tange is more commonly used in japan. none the less, great frame!

Not so. Many Aussie frame builders used Tange tubing. It is good stuff. Easily as good as Reynolds and Columbus tubing at the time. It was used because it was cheaper.

That's why you'd ride it ya doofus :P Everything has to get scuffed sometime. I't's even drilled so you can run a front Brake, and join the sw8 fixay scene.
